Bob Wyper is trying various musical projects, including Waterworld, and is planning a vocal album to follow it.
Why this name?
All the made up pseudonyms sounded wrong, so I went back to my roots and used my own name.
Do you play live?
Yes. Everywhere local in West of Scotland. It has many great moments although some feel just like a normal job. The good times make it all worthwhile. Loved backing the big stars like Midge Ure before he was huge and did Band aid with Geldof in 1985.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Sometimes it frightens me, other times it's a huge library with everything I need in it.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If I can see the small print first... Oh, I'm not supposed to ask about that, am I. Just sign where?
Band History:
Bob Wyper is an experienced vocalist, drummer, keyboardist and writer who has worked at a local level in Scotland with numerous musicians and bands. Still writing, singing, managing and looking for the end of the rainbow.
Your influences?
Mike Oldfield, Uriah Heep, Alice Cooper, Queen, Robbie Williams, Fats Waller, AC/DC, Ennio Morricone,The Beatles, Bowie, Yes.
Favorite spot?
Onich near Fort William on the West Coast of Scotland. I go there for a weekend break after every foreign holiday, just to unwind.
Equipment used:
All writing is on a Korg i30 with its great sounds and ease of bringing an idea to life.
Anything else...?
I reckon I just need a couple of million for the new equipment and I could write another song... in fact, I'm sure I could.
